Paragraph: 18
Roll-out patient information campaign to clarify NHS dental services and entitlements
Conclusion
A lack of public awareness about NHS dental services and how practices operate is contributing to access issues. The Government and NHS England should roll-out a patient information campaign with the aim of improving awareness of how NHS dentistry will work and ensure the public are better informed about what they are entitled to. This should clarify common misconceptions, for example, about patient registration, recall periods, and NHS dental charges and exemptions.
